This is often the main finished survey of the mathematical lifetime of the mythical Paul Erd? s, essentially the most flexible and prolific mathematicians of our time. For the 1st time, the entire major components of Erd? s' examine are lined in one undertaking. as a result of overwhelming reaction from the mathematical group, the undertaking now occupies over 900 pages, prepared into volumes.

A basic property of linear relations between symplectic vector spaces is the following symplectic functorial rule. 1. 4) A proof of this fundamental formula is given in Sect. 4 By using this formula we can easily prove the following two fundamental statements. 2. 5 Proof. If R§ = R and S § = S, then (S ◦ R)§ = S § ◦ R§ = S ◦ R. 3. The image R ◦ K of an isotropic (coisotropic, Lagrangian) subspace K by a linear symplectic relation R is an isotropic (coisotropic, Lagrangian) subspace. 4 It is taken from (Benenti 1988) and it is rather cumbersome.

V ω(u, v) = 0 ι I u K isotropic (M, ω) ι ω=0 Fig. 2. 12) The left-hand side of this equation is the precursor of the so-called Lagrange bracket. ♦ This suggests the following extension of the definition of Lagrangian submanifold: a Lagrangian immersion is an immersion ι : K → M into a symplectic manifold such that dim K = 12 dim M and ι∗ ω = 0. An immersed Lagrangian submanifold is the image Λ = ι(K) of a Lagrangian immersion.
